Fire Pit BBQ

The food is always good and it’s a good value if you get takeout or delivery and order the whole chicken with the rice and beans or rice and fries.

Best food, best flavor. I drive out my way for this place because truthfully you cannot find good quality bbq around here. But this bbq is different with Portuguese flavor The chicken, steak, ribs, rice and especially the chocolate mousse are all so good that you can tell, they use quality products and care for cooking food that you will be eating every bit off the bone. Don’t skip on this place I just wish they opened a place in Bayonne we need something of this quality in this town. Until then, I’m putting up with traffic on 440 to get there!!!

Food tastes good but delivery takes about an hour or more and the food is overpriced. Ordered a combo with three types of meat and was expecting a reasonable amount of meat. I got three ribs three small pieces of chicken and three very small pieces of steak. Barely feeds a family of three. 30 bucks plus tip. Total rip off. Have ordered from this place several times but I’m tired of getting food where the prices go up but the portions get smaller and smaller. There is alot better places to eat for less money.

Fire pit was a nice addition to Kearny, I couldn’t really find anywhere else for BBQ in the area besides picnic so I was happy to try it.
My initial thoughts were it was okay, the BBQ was pretty decent but the side dishes were very generic. It didn’t help that I tried delivery, but everything was soggy.
I tried it once more and picked it up, I decided to try the wings and they weren’t very good. The sauce was too sweet and didn’t taste anything like buffalo sauce.
The staff was nice but the food is only decent in my opinion, I’m not in any rush to go back.

Love this place! Always tastes good and the portions are huge. The trays easily feed 2 – 3 people. Yesterday I got the pork cubes w/​shrimp — SO good. That does not come with side though. No matter, I’ll still order it in the future.

I am from the South… not South Jersey, like Southwest Florida! We know BBQ! This is is the closest I’ve found to what I am used to. When you walk in the aroma is amazing. My BBQ was fresh and hot. Not to mention the «Very Busy» Hot BBQ dude was very easy on the eyes and even though he was slammed took the time to help me out with my order. Great JOB! I’ll be back!

I think the food is great and it’s super convenient for me on my way home but recently I looked at my bill and I saw a rounding charge on it. They raised my bill by 2 cents so it would round up to the next nickel. I never heard of rounding till I googled it and apparently companies do this because they think counting pennies costs them too much time and money? Now I am not so sure if I am going to frequent them that much anymore.

Ordered BBQ chicken with rice and fries, one of the worst meals I have ever eaten. Not sure if what happened since I have ordered before from here, but sorry I don’t think I will ever go back and waste my money on bad food.

This firepit is OK, can’t say it’s outta this world outrageous, no, it’s just OK. We’ve ordered from here four times and the second time was definitely the best experience but after my last I will not be ordering from here again.
First time I got baby back ribs and they were flavorful but so dry, the rice was alright and the beans, although not super flavorful, were still good. My wife got a steak sandwich from the place, which she ordered medium, she took one bite and pulled the entire steak out from the sandwich, it was way overdone but she still liked the flavor so it wasn’t so bad.
Second time, I got some bbq pork spare ribs, they were delicious, seasoned very well and were tender. I got a side of potato salad which was bland but a bit of salt, pepper, and relish fixed that up and the fries were good, can’t really mess those up.
I wish I could tell you about the third time but I was drunk when I ordered.
Fourth time, got the same bbq spare ribs which were a rip off, I definitely got the scraps. The ribs were more bone/​cartilage than anything. I also ordered the BBQ wings this time around and I ate two and they tasted great, went for a third and when I bit down…*CRUNCH* I spit it out and saw two quills. I started closely looking at the wings and noticed that 6 out of 10 still had feathers and the quills in them. Not like one or two, no, I could’ve overlooked that, the most one had was 5. This was enough to ruin my appetite and make me want to throw them away. A lot of people wouldn’t be that picky but for me that just grossed me out so bad.
After that last experience I don’t see myself ordering from here again. You can take your chances and maybe they’ll be having a good night but you won’t know till you order.

Ok so my husband loves there food so I took him and the family here for father’s day. Now you can look at the pic’s and tell that it is not a fancy place. So for father’s day it was not crowded. We were able to get a table for 6 with no problem. I am guessing that most customer do take out. Now I will say this it was really warm in there not unbearable but they could have turned up the a/​c a bit. Any way the waiter was really super nice, and even suggested that I share a meal with someone because they do give you a lot of food. I had the barbecue ribs, yellow rice and black beans. The food was really good. There prices are awesome. For a party of 6 it was only $ 94. Granted we did not have any alcohol or dessert but still a good time was had. Went down the road to Arlington Diner for dessert. That my next review.

Really tasty bbq, don’t come and expect Texas or Carolina bbq like I did. I was presently surprised with the food and the staff was super friendly. The rolls are good and the drinks are cold. My pork steak sandwich was KILLER

Okay, so I am only giving it this place 3 stars. First off, their delivery SUCKS! Takes about 1 hour — 1 hour and 30 mins to arrive and I live in Kearny (not very far from the place). So from now on, I just pick it up. Some of their portions are really small, like when you order a whole chicken. Their chickens are good, but they are SOOOOO small!!! For a family of 4 we need at least 2 whole chickens just to satisfy us. The chicken sandwich comes with a decent portion.

I usually order their salmon Which is pretty good. Today I split the whole order of bbq pork ribs w/​the rice and beans it a good portion to split with someone. We even left some rice because it was too much for us. I gave it 3 stars because they take a bit long to prepare but then again it is bbq and I only like a few things on their menu. Also they need to update their menu prices online. My coworker picked up the food but it turned out to be more than what it was on the website. They should definitely do something about that. Overall I would recommend this place.

I ordered dinner for my family yesterday for Mother’s Day at 5:45 PM. We ordered a BBQ chicken/​pork spare rib Combo and a ½ order of garlic chicken. The girl taking the order was very short with me when ordering but I figured they were busy since it was Mother’s Day and was told it would be 45 minutes to an hour. Fine.
7 PM comes and no food yet. Since it had been over an hour since we ordered and we were all starving, I called to check the status. I started to ask and she cut me off and told me it was «out for delivery» without even asking my name or address then abruptly hung up on me. Another 20 minutes pass, I call back. Same thing, «out for delivery» without even asking my address and hangs up.
At 7:45 PM we called AGAIN and she started to say the same thing but I told her we didn’t want the order if it was still «out for delivery» because there is no way that want food that has been sitting in a car for over an hour as it is probably going to be ice cold. She assured us that it would not be cold and he should be here shortly.
I called at 8 PM to cancel the order and she was like «welllll, don’t know what to tell you. All the orders left over an hour ago.» I asked if she could call the driver and she sighed and said «maybe he was lost» She called him on the other line and he was at our door like 2 minutes later.
We got the food inside and surprise!– they got our order wrong. They only sent BBQ chicken and the garlic chicken… no pork spare ribs. I called back to speak to the manager and I was told by the same rude girl that he was not in and I could call back to speak with him. I started to tell her how upset I was with their service and that our order was wrong and she was all «uh huh… ok. yea you can just call back tomorrow». I swear I could sense her rolling her eyes through the phone.
So.the food that we did get was good but their customer service was so shitty I would never order from them again.

Firepit made three stars by the skin of their. chicken.
First time customer and they let me down. Called and placed my order for pick up. I asked to see if they also had combo specials as many other BBQ places do and he said yes, «Chicken and Ribs.» I thought great, ribs aren’t too healthy but they’re my favorite. I subsequently asked about the sides and decided on the rice with beans instead of the rice with french fries. Twenty minutes and $ 17 later, I get to my designated location to eat only to reveal two issues:
1) I received french fries, not the beans. I cannot tell you how annoying it is to know that I have to check my take out order before leaving the establishment (and will have to do so if I decide to give them another chance.) The fries were soggy and flavorless.
2) –now, this is may really be my fault– I was surprised to have received beef ribs instead of pork ribs. I am avid BBQ eater and I’ve got to stay, usually it is by default when one uses the word «ribs» that it is understood to be pork ribs. Not at this establishment. Therefore, I recommend you clarify between this distinction while placing your order with Firepit.
Overall the chicken was well seasoned and tasty. Wasn’t overcooked as other reviews stated but it’s clear that you are really rolling the dice at this place. I did enjoy the beef ribs and was glad they weren’t overcooked. Ribs were a little pink in the middle, just the way I like it.
For the price I paid and the portion size, they’re not too competitive. I have paid less and received way more at other eateries. Not eager to try them out again but I wouldn’t cross them out indefinitely.

Been here twice now. First time i had beef ribs and they were tasty, but the chicken was way overcooked and very dry. My friend ordered the T bone and was very happy with his choice. I recently had delivery and the chicken was tasty and juicy, but the pork ribs were way too dry and i could not even finish. If they were more consistent with the good stuff, it would be a sure shot spot for deliveries when i don’t feel like cooking and they would earn another star. So roll the dice, get you some, and hopefully ENJOY!!!

This is the first time I order take out and had to eat left overs.
After waiting about an hour for the food to be delivered, the shrimp in garlic sauce was cold, and my picadinho with shrimp had NO shrimp. They also forgot my two liter coke.
Of course I called but was placed on hold twice.
Needless to say, I will not order from this place again.

CHICKEN & BBQ RIBS Baby!!! Also, the Lamb Chops are the best in Hudson/​Bergen Counties.
The food is Absolutely tasty. We come at least 3x per month. Sarah & Rosa are the friendliest and most professional waitresses I’ve met. The ambience is super and it’s BYOB which is a Big Plus. LUV u guys. see You Soon!

We weren’t in the mood for Italian so we looked for someplace new to try. This Portuguese BBQ joint a couple of blocks off Schuyler Ave was a very good find indeed.
The place is incredibly busy. That means your treats won’t be sitting in a warming oven all day. Chances are, it will be made to order or it will have been made shortly before you ordered it.
We asked the nice gentleman behind the counter, baby backs or spare ribs? His answer? Baby backs but it would take 45 minutes to prepare. No worries, we had nowhere to be. We munched some perfectly grilled chorizo while we waited.
The ribs were excellent. I did think they could have benefited from five to eight minutes less cooking time but they really were delicious. Loved the hot sauce. It’s a thick concoction, not the usual watery stuff served in other establishments. It was particularly good on the fries which were freshly cut and fried.
So my wife wasn’t left out of our adventure, I brought home a to go order of grilled chicken, rice and beans. She loved every bite. Nothing was overly salty which pleased her no end.
Fire Pit BBQ serves up some really great eats. We will definitely be back.

I’ve driven past this place a few times and smelled the great aroma of hardwood charcoal, just tempting me to come in.
It’s a small place but the dining area is immaculately clean. There are a lot of cool pro-​carnivorous pictures on wall, like a picture of Popeye holding a can of spinach with caption saying «Where’s the beef!»
I ordered skirt steak which came out sizzling on a cast iron skillet, marinated perfectly and was cooked to perfection juicy and not too tough, as skirt steak is known to be. (Just looking at the picture I posted of it gets me hungry) On a separate dish I got a enormous serving of rice and beans.
Everything was delicious, come here with a good appetite, cause you are gong to eat!
